I don't consider
the Rose old. Chk with dealer. I have one that I love for sewing, FMquilting. It makes beautiful decorative stitiches I do craft show). Sews all thread well. It isn't user friendly tho on the embroider part which is why I bought it. Finally bought a $500 embrodery mahcine & upgraded to Brother PE700. The PES format is radily available & lots of freebies on net. I would advise putiing money in embrodery machine only. Chk all brands.com They have good sales & I have good service from them Good Luck
